Interferons - the first line of defense against viral infections
Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense
Two new enzymes available to replace TAP
We have been closely following the interesting case of the discontinuation of tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) and the efforts of the world's RNA biologists to find a suitable alternative. Our previous
Venomous toxin ion channel modulators
Ion channels are proteins with pore-forming abilities. Their selective capabilities to let ions cross the cell membrane involves them in crucial cellular functions (controlling membrance potential, the
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Alzheimer
In a recent post, I concentrated on the role of HDACs in cancer: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Cancer and mentioned that some HDACs are overexpressed and show very high activities in
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) as pharmaceutical targets
While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this
IQF substrates for true isopeptidase/deubiquitinase activity measurement
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) are promising therapeutical targets, especially in oncology (see my previous post dedicated to this topic). Today, I'd like
Antibody purification troubleshooting tips
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade data.
How to choose the best 3D technology for your assay?
Cell culture models using 2D substrates have provided important conceptual advances in understanding the biology of cells. However, cells grown on flat 2D surfaces can differ substantially from physiological
Still using MTT or WST-1 for cell counting?
If the answer is yes, I am sure you'll be interested to learn more about WST-8 and our Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). If the answer is no, and you've already switched to WST-8, just have a look at our price
